in malaysia bolehland, if satire is not taken as satire but the truth, and if the imaginations of the macc prosecutor that a person strangles himself is the truth, then this doctor's logic makes more sense.

AND. . . .
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies:1. The Japanese eat very little fat
And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.4 The Italians drink a lot of red wine
And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.CONCLUSION. . . .Eat and drink what you like. Speaking American English is apparently what kills you.

p.s. very tempted to write a paper on 'contemporary political reflections' based on isaiah 40-55 and malaysian politics. but time doesn't permit and time is a luxury for an academic dean, OT lecturer, assigned pastor, occasional writer, p/t doctoral student, and family guy!!
